I haven't yet put up my Menu Monday because I was holding out for this post. This will mark my 100th blog on My Not So Glamorous Life. And 100 is always worth acknowledging, isn't it? So, in honor of my 100 Not So Glamorous Posts, I will list 100 Things About Me (which will probably be hard to come up with, and which most people don't care anyways. Just humor me!)
1. I have 2 handsome sons, and one beautiful daughter.
2. I have never gotten a traffic or parking ticket (knock on wood)

5. I Drink beer too.
6. I have NEVER had a cigarette
7. I have NEVER tried any type of drug
